AMD Catalyst 12.10 For Linux Surfaces

Posted by Michael Larabel on October 22, 2012

AMD's Catalyst 12.10 Linux graphics driver was released today.

The AMD Catalyst 12.10 Linux graphics driver for x86 and x86_64 architectures is available from the download link offered here.

But before getting too excited for this latest graphics driver update, it doesn't offer too much. AMD still doesn't publish any detailed Catalyst Linux driver change-log, but from the information I know, this 12.10 update doesn't really offer much substantive changes over the earlier Catalyst 12.9 release for Linux. At least though this latest update will be a slight or stable improvement for you AMD Radeon owners rather than a regression.
